Oct 6, 2011This album is f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c. Theres nothing really out there right now that sounds like this, every song is catchy and never seems to get old. Hope they continue to make music just as great as this!

ZachRMar 2, 2006One of my favorite albums of the last 10 years, maybe even more! This truly is a classic. Every song is expertly crafted and beutiful. True, some people may not appreiciate it, but its substantially better than anything else released in main stream music lately. Long live the Swedes!

jeffmDec 1, 2004it sounds a bit like my bloody valentine crashed into belle and sebastian's stuart murdoch and they were all so confused that they just thought they'd make some real pretty music about it.

JJenkinsMar 4, 2006Very strong album overall, not a single filler track. Excellent pop sensibilities, 70s 80s retro shoegaze all in one.

[Anonymous]Apr 24, 2006This is one of the greatest albums of all-time, seriously. Every song is so catchy, lovely and straight out that it's unbelivable to here it.

marcobJun 28, 2006With no previous knowledge of Sweden's The Radio Dept, I bought their album Lesser Matters after sampling the first 3 songs at a listening station. It has been one of my best music purchases in recent memory. I would define their music as dream pop. It has that ethereal sound. The vocals are distant, gentle and hushed at times.

UncutThe Radio Dept. recall that giddy moment before sounding like the Stones was considered revelatory. Only these Swedes re-tweak the formula, sounding, if anything, better than Ride, Slowdive, Lush, Boo Radleys et al. [Sep 2004, p.100]

Q MagazineThere's not much to tie it to the present day, but when the template is this well tuned that's no great problem. [Oct 2004, p.129]

It has the same majesty and ethereal wonder contained in the best works of the Flaming Lips, Boo Radleys, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain and Mercury Rev.
